For my painting, a rather simple method was used to display it on the screens. Using a spirit level, I ensured the painting would be straight horizontally, therefore it would be vertically accurate too. Two nail tacks were hammered into the screen on the horizontal line so that the wooden frame could be simply hung on them to keep it straight and solid. I think this was perhaps the best method to use because there are no visible marks or features (screws, brass plates etc) distracting from the piece and because of it's size, I think that's best.
The prints, as seen in the photo above, have been placed alongside each other in order of tonal qualities. To enhance these, they were mounted onto a layer of foam board shortly after they dried when they were originally created. To ensure the prints were applied with strength to the screens, several 'sticky pads' were used which not only helped with displaying them but also with enhancing them because the thickness helped bring them forward a little giving them more of an impact along with the painting.
